Ashlyn had her birthday on the 3rd. I can’t believe she is 10! I think she just got down the going to sleep at night thing. Since she was a baby she has been a night owl. She recently came up with the idea that if she goes to sleep good at night, which means not getting out and going to bathroom 5 times and staying up until 11, we will double her allowance for the month. She can not miss even one single day. I had lost all hope but this has really worked! I feel like I am getting such a good deal!
She is having a friend’s sleepover next week. She is super excitied about that. We are doing a girl and pet spa night.
We did have a fun birthday with her on the 3rd. One of her greatest wishes was to sleep in. She can sleep a long time! So we left her breakfast by her bed and took off for the gym. We made pizzas that night and everyone got to shape their pizza and put their own toppings on it. We had cupcakes with little chocalate flowers.
One of Ashlyn’s favorite things to do is to design clothing. Then she always wants to make her designs. We thought it would be a good idea to get her a sewing machine so she can sew whenever she wants. It is a children’s sewing machine that is perfect for her. It doesn’t go too fast and it is a smaller then a regular one. She loves it!
She also recently got glasses. We took her into the doctor because she was complaining about not beeing able to see at school. I was expecting the dc to say that she just needed to wear them to read the board. Nope! She is totally blind! She has a hard time reading below the E at the top. I felt so bad, poor girl!
This last one is us watching fireworks on the 4th.
Oh, I have to congradulate my brother an his wife for having twins on the 2nd. They are both girls named Anna and Aubrina. They each weighed 6 pounds! Wow, I think Justine deserves extra blessings for that!

Nicole is a total fashion designer, too! Ashlyn looks great in her glasses. Don’t you just feel terrible when you think they don’t need them and then find out they do? We had that experience earlier this year–with 3 of our kids! I love the pictures you post. Everyone looks fantastic!!

Ashlyn looks like a sassy movie star with her glasses. How grown up she looks. Loved reading about her birthday and the deal on getting to sleep. I will be there next week to see you all.
